EBE: Pingbacks doesn't send?

I just installed the latest version of the EBE kit and it's all set up and works like a charm.
However, the pingbacks (the automatic, and the manual that I add for the posts) doesn't seem to be sent.
I've got no items in the Pingbacks Sent or in the Linkbacks Received lists.

Thanks for your reply.
A quick thought: Could it have something to do with not allowing anonymous access to browse the lists and pages settings?
I'm currently only allowing anonymous access on the front page and the posts, but not to for example /_layouts/viewlsts.aspx etc. (Setting in the EBE) - could that be a cause?

When I allow anonymous access to view the lists and items (/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx), I receive trackbacks.
However - just as Stoneford describes - every trackback is shown under every article, instead of under the right one.

Also, is there some way to limit trackback spam? Seems like I'm getting a bunch of trackbacks just pointing back to yahoo.com.
